Short-term rental regulations vary by jurisdiction in the Fockbek area. I don't have reliable, current data on short-term rental regulations or enforcement reality for Fockbek, Rendsburg, and Kiel specifically. These German municipalities fall under Schleswig-Holstein state law, which generally requires registration and tourist taxes, but local enforcement varies significantly. Without verified information on actual enforcement practices, permit requirements, and how strictly rules are applied in each city, I recommend contacting each municipality's Ordnungsamt (regulatory office) directly for current requirements and enforcement details. Always verify current regulations with local authorities and obtain necessary permits before operating a short-term rental.
